Enable Automatic Category

To configure the extension, go to Admin Panel → Catalog → Categories → and select the category you want to make automatic (dynamic).

Automatic Category - to enable the functionality of the extension, set to Yes.

Once you enable the Automatic Category, the Product Conditions and Products Merchandising sections will be added.

After you switch the category to Automatic Category mode, a default selection of products in the category will be replaced with the selection of all the virtual products of the store.

Set Product Conditions to generate the desired selection.

Note, that after you Save this automatic category with a newly generated selection, you will not be able to roll back to the default selection of this category.

Note, that if later you set the Automatic Category option to No, this category will not retrieve new products by specified conditions anymore. It will remain with the current selection of the products.

Store Views

If you have various stores and you want to promote a particular product the same way on all of them, you don't need to configure this separately for each of your store views. Switch to All Store Views to configure the default store.

If you need to arrange a category only for particular store view, switch to this store in the Store View section and uncheck Use Default settings.

Product Conditions

In the Product Conditions section, you can set the list of conditions (or conditions combination). Basing on these conditions, the extension retrieves the products to the automatic category automatically.

Once you set the conditions, click the Apply Conditions button. Go to Products Merchandising section
to see the products that are automatically retrieved by the applied conditions.

Drag-and-drop the items the way that is aligned with your current marketing needs.

Move to Top - simply click the button to send a particular product to the first position in the product listing.

Once you drag a particular product, its mode is switched to Manual and it is “pinned” to a particular location. Which means it will remain in the same position even after the automatic sorting is applied.
